Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Sekiro

Wolf Boy: ...

? : ? ? ?

The dragon fruit tycoon's lips curled into a smile that revealed three parts sarcasm, three parts indifference, and four parts nonchalance.

"I'm just a network card. If I weren't lagging, I would beat you all to a pulp and make you kneel on the ground singing 'Conquer'." He gripped the controller, his expression focused. Just by looking at him, you'd think he was some kind of reclusive master.

3, 2, 1, fight!

The battle begins, and Erii chooses Zangief. Chun-Li is fighting Zangief, how can she lose? Tell me how she can lose.

He had read the analysis table from the forum users. Old San had been the weakest character for several versions, and he was at a great disadvantage against everyone. Chun-Li, on the other hand, was one of the top characters on the list, and even at its worst, she had never fallen out of the top five. Old San could almost win against Chun-Li with a 3-7 advantage. How could he possibly lose?

“It’s time to show the real skills.” He charged forward relentlessly.

What you need is that momentum. First, use that momentum to intimidate the enemy, and then take advantage of that opportunity to unleash a combo without explanation.

What lies hidden beneath this tactic is the lament of countless elementary school students!

Ugly Swordsman: The tycoon charged! He charged! He's not fighting alone!

Nuclear Fission Buddha∞: Look! He's about to unleash his signature move!

After a moment of silence.

The eldest son of the Yakumo family: New record, 17 seconds.

As expected, the tycoon's Chun-Li was crushed by Erii's old man in 17 seconds.

Nuclear Fission Buddha∞: It still has to be the dragon fruit tycoon.

Ugly Swordsman: He proved himself once again; he is still the man who cannot be surpassed.

"The accelerator just disconnected, and my network is lagging," Dragon Fruit typed without changing his expression. "I'll try again."

Wolf Boy: @Erii no qq, like.jpg

Dragon Fruit never cared about the rumors and gossip from the outside world; he firmly believed that his Chun-Li was the strongest.

There is only one server for Street Fighter in Japan. As a Chinese player, he has to use an accelerator to play smoothly online. Otherwise, he will encounter various unexpected situations such as packet loss, high latency, and frame drops. He must have been lagging just now. Otherwise, how could Sanji not lose any health when he used the No Explanation Combo? It must have been a network lag!

He sent another challenge request, choosing Chun-Li as his opponent.

Erii switched to Blanca, who, along with Old San, was one of the bottom three, the other being the Eagle.

"Hmph, you won't be so lucky this time," Dragon Fruit sneered. "You can't expect to have a bad connection every game. Prepare to die!"

The most important thing is momentum; strike first and gain the upper hand!

Chun-Li charged forward again with her long legs. Blanca, who was slow to move, simply stayed put and waited for her to make her move.

"Take this combo, no explanation needed!" The tycoon's eyes widened in fury, his fingers furiously pressing the controller, veins bulging on his forehead.

15 seconds later.

.

Two letters filled the entire screen, and Blanca's health bar looked brand new, with not a single crack visible.

Ugly Swordsman: (Gasping in a cold breath) As expected of a tycoon, you are terrifying. In just a few days, your skill has improved so much. We are completely inferior.

Nuclear Fission Buddha ∞: Heng said, "I examine myself three times a day: Have I been disloyal for Chun-Li? Have I been untrustworthy in dealing with the Accelerator? Have I failed to practice the combo techniques I've been taught?"

The eldest son of the Yakumo family: @Eri's qq, awesome.jpg

? :@画利衣のqq, good.

Wolf Boy: What's going on? I just went to the bathroom and finished playing, and now the Question Mark Master isn't using question marks anymore?

Erii's QQ: Nice to meet you.jpg

Chapter 131 Erii's Emoji Collection Plan

Erii used the stolen emoticons from Sakura to communicate with her group members.

Although we cannot understand foreign languages, images are the simplest way for humans to understand the world. Before the advent of writing and language, people used gestures and pictures to convey information.

A single emoji can perfectly express a person's feelings.

These quirky and fun drawings were really interesting. She tapped her phone screen to save all the emojis, thinking she could use them next time she chatted with Sakura.

The little girl lay on her side on the tatami mat, a soft wool pillow under her neck. The screen of the LCD TV displayed the game interface of "Street Fighter". A black Sony PS controller was placed next to her, along with a small porcelain plate containing half a cherry blossom mochi.

Her brother was at work, and Sakura was at work too. In the past, when no one played with her, she would take out anime Blu-ray discs and watch them repeatedly.

She has a special cabinet filled with discs, each one perfectly preserved, neatly categorized, and labeled with her handwritten notes indicating which episode it is and what it roughly contains, much like writing a summary of a reading comprehension passage in a Chinese language exam, summarizing the main content in a single sentence.

For example, the first episode of Code Geass is summarized as follows: Lelouch died, he was resurrected, and then given the power of Geass.

Other things include: the third prince died, Euphemia was killed by Lelouch, and Suzaku and Lelouch had a fight.

With her notebook dedicated to recording lines, she can usually recall the general content of an episode just by glancing at the labels.

She didn't have this habit at first, but she had too much free time and always needed to find something to do, so she rewatched all the DVDs she had watched before and wrote a summary for each one.

This was a very complicated process because she had watched a lot of anime, including Detective Conan, Doraemon, One Piece, and Naruto...

She treated this as her job. When her brother went to work, she would go with him and work until he came back to play with her.

Now that Sakura has gone to work, she'll have to start working too.

Let's set a small goal: collect at least 100 new emojis today!

Messages scrolled by on QQ, and for a moment, many unfamiliar names and avatars were talking, but Erii's attention was entirely focused on the pictures. There were many cheeky panda faces with two black ears and black arms, but no dark circles under their eyes.

Sakura never posts those cheeky panda faces; she mostly posts cute cartoon animals and cartoon girls with big, adorable eyes that really appeal to young girls.

Erii didn't really like these panda faces; seeing them always gave her the urge to punch someone, but she still saved each one as a favorite.

She counted in her mind, adding one emoji at a time. The number quickly soared to 59, but when she swiped her finger to add the next emoji, it suddenly reached the end.

No one in the group is posting pictures anymore!

Below the last image is a series of messages, but even after scrolling to the end, not a single emoji can be found.

Erii tilted her head in confusion, glancing at the TV screen out of the corner of her eye. Just then, her second friend, "Dragon Fruit Tycoon," sent her a new ID.

She sat up, picked up the handle, and pondered for a moment.

Does that mean we have to defeat these people to unlock new memes?

It seems like a bunch of new images appeared right after I defeated "hasaki".

She decided to test the waters and sent a friend request to the ID "joker_sword".

The other party quickly approved her application and invited her to join the battle.

To test her theory, this time she held the controller with both hands instead of placing it on the tatami mat, and controlled the character while browsing QQ.

...

Ugly Swordsman: I will be the second touchstone.

A new TV screen appeared during the group video call.

Ugly Swordsman: I am unworthy to present myself before Master Dragon Fruit.

A smug voice came from the video, saying that he had chosen Chun-Li as his character to fight.

Dragon Fruit Tycoon: Don't get cocky. This guy's a pro. He knows Chun-Li too well. I suggest you find someone else.

Nuclear Fission Buddha ∞: Does the tycoon really understand Chun-Li?

Dragon Fruit Tycoon: Are you questioning my worth?

Nuclear Fission Buddha∞: How could I dare? But... why is the tycoon ranked on the ladder...?

Dragon Fruit Tycoon: What do you mean? I just haven't had time to play ranked matches. Do you even know how many basic combos Chun-Li has?

Nuclear fission Buddha ∞: How many kinds are there?

Dragon Fruit Tycoon: Oh, there are many. Let me tell you about the four most basic ones first.

Then Dragon Fruit began to show off his knowledge, and the group burst into laughter, filling the room with a joyful atmosphere.

Ugly Swordsman: Thank you for your guidance, Master! May the immortals bless me with longevity! I will go and seek justice right now. How dare these mere foreigners bully our group leader because of his internet lag!

In the loading screen of joker_sword, you can see the characters selected on both sides: Chun-Li versus Ryu, a classic matchup.

The ugly swordsman stretched his muscles and bones, interlacing his fingers with his right and left hands, palms facing outwards, arms straight, and making a crisp sound at the joints.

His points rank in the top 5000 across the entire server. Unlike a certain trash-talking king, his skills are the best in the whole group.

In this group of amateur players, he can definitely be considered a master.

This newcomer is indeed very strong. Although he can easily defeat the tycoon within 15 seconds, it is still a bit difficult for him to maintain full health. His best record without losing health is 19 seconds, which is 4 seconds less than Erii's.

Although he talked about revenge, he didn't relax at all.

Come to think of it, this ID looks familiar; I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.

Forget it, I'll just finish the fight first...

...

"Da da da da da," fifteen seconds later, Erii ended the battle once again.

"Is it the same person playing?" she wondered.

She didn't feel any difference in the techniques of "joker_sword" and "hasaki"; they seemed to be slightly different, yet also seemed the same.

At her level, it doesn't matter whether the opponent is Platinum, Gold, or Silver; they're all just pigs to be slaughtered.

Are you kidding me if I say someone has been holding the number one spot on the server for years?

This server brings together players from all over the world, and since she started playing the game, she has never fallen out of the top five, spending half her time in first place.

However, in the past few days, because she has been playing Uncharted with Sakura, her score has been surpassed by several people behind her, and now "Erii no PSN" has dropped to 12th place.

After finishing typing, Erii picked up her phone again. The screen was full of messages, and there were many new emojis, mostly sent by "Dragon Fruit Tycoon".

"So, you only get new memes when you hit someone."

Erii nodded repeatedly, looking like she understood.

Another challenge has been sent, still from "joker_sowrd". Erii is full of enthusiasm in order to unlock more new emoticons!
